Win Xp logs on, then logs off ,cause found.

[smallclaimshammer]

I have had a problem with my XP Pro machine.  When I sign on it starts, flashes screen saver, then shows Logging off.  I thought I had a password recognition problem, but that's not it.  I had run Adaware 6 scanning for virus, and it has effected wsaupdater.exe. somehow.  I found notes on a scan where Adaware removed "Search Assistant" which it seems had omni files attached , and this has corrupted a registry.  I spotted a forum discussion at" http://www.opentechsupport.net/forums/arch...ic/20552-1.html "   It made me go look for  the Adaware 6 notes, I had written down on a scan and removal I had done before the problem appeared.   I don't have the computer skills to do the fix that's outlined, but it might help someone else with the same problem.  I've had Great Help on this forum, just trying to do the same in kind.

I've worked with users that had that problem with Ad-Aware 6 installed
That was fixed a VERY LONG TIME ago
Very easily fixed with Recovery console if you can't get into Windows
Of course, you must have your Windows CD or have recovery console installed on your computer

Are you still running ad-aware 6?
